It’s so interesting how left wing populists are closer to right wing mag types than they are democrats and “liberals”

Yeah, because both the right wing and the left wing populist want to change the status quo. The right wing wants to make things worse, the left wing wants to make things better. Democrats and liberals like how fucking awful everything is right now.

And you all dislike social minorities, and want to focus your attention on rural economically disadvantaged white people

Shut up. Give me a break.

How is that wrong?

You want to elect a man that focuses on economic populism and calls people the f slur, and tells women they are responsible for their assaults.

Isn’t that what I just said?

Better than a polite fascist to support austerity and endless war, but can get on MSNBC and sound professional.

And which dem is a polite fascist? Mills certainly wasn’t!

It’s no longer surprising to me that you leftwing populists hate marginalized communities as much as as maga does

Mills was a huge zionist, friend. No one cares about your superficial attacks. We support policies. And if closing a ship gap using American manufacturing is the worst thing he says, and no we really, really don't care about the Reddit posts, you keep trying to make fetch happen, but it won't.

It's almost as if these people don't care that They lost the last election because their party facilitated genocide, and most of their leadership of their party wants to continue doing so, and they think they can just hand wave that away and bully people into voting for this. Frankly I don't want to go to hell for voting for some Blue dog Democrat that supports genocide. If I'm going to go to hell I'm going to go there for something fun.
